Practice question

Which of the following is NOT listed as a step to stay safe while driving?

  1. Always honk at pedestrians
  2. Make good choices
  3. No distractions
  4. Constantly scan the roadway looking for threats

Answer: A — Always honk at pedestrians

Honking at pedestrians is not a safe or appropriate step for staying safe while driving. Horns are best used to warn of imminent danger, not as a regular habit around people on foot. Constantly scanning the road, avoiding distractions, and making good choices are proactive habits that reduce risk: you’re staying alert for pedestrians, cyclists, and other hazards, keeping distractions away, and choosing actions that give you enough time and space to react. So the idea of always honking at pedestrians isn’t part of the safe-driving steps.
